Where is the camshaft position sensor at on a 1999 ford ranger 6 cylinder 3.0 liter engine?

On a 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6, the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, near the front of the cylinder head. It's usually mounted fairly close to the camshaft itself, often near or on the timing chain cover.

However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration. It's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6. A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual, or even a digital version, will have diagrams showing the exact location and will likely provide helpful information regarding sensor removal and replacement. A visual inspection with the engine bay cleaned (to improve visibility) is also helpful once you have a general idea of its location.
